Car storage

I was going to label this winter storage butt it seems my cars don't get out much any more. In the past when I did drive them they would have flat spots in the tires. This was more noticeable with my convertibles. So I thought put them up on jack stands. In the rear it was easy to do. With the front it seemed that the car needed to be way up in the air to get the tires off the ground. So to correct this I added a bracket that fit in to a HF scissor jack and would not slide out of the lower control arm. This way I could keep the car as low to the ground as possible and keep the tires off of it. I know some might say that those jacks aren't made for long term storage, and there not. I have one car that has been on this set up for five years now. No problems. Yes, I cookie sheet my cars.

cool idea

Rather than putting the jack stands under the suspension, put the under the frame so there is no load on the suspension (or tires).

I like the loaded suspension. If its at full droop you are either at the limit of the shock or smashing the crap out of a bumpstop.

Cool design by the OP.
